Bet

[Braves GM (Jared)]

This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen in our league (and there have been a lot of dumb things here). There will be no stupid bets allowed in this league or else I am definitely out of here.

The Pirates GM (Rey) and A's GM (Noah) made a bet, I am not sure if this is allowed, but anyway I have seen it in other leagues before.

If the Pirates win the Base Knock 2013 World Series they will receive C Yasmani Grandal from the A's. If they do not win the World Series, the A's receive LHP Jeff Samardjza and RHP Dellin Benteces.

The A's are now forbidden to trade C Yasmani Grandal and the Pirates now may not trade LHP Jeff Samardjza or RHP Dellin Benteces.

If the Pirates are eliminated from the playoffs, the next day, the A's will receive the aforementioned players as soon as possible, if the Pirates win the bet, the Pirates will receive their player the day after the WS is over.

I don't get where you think this type of tomfoolery would be allowed in an upstanding league like this Noah and Rey.

This is not, repeat, negative, negatory, never and has zero percent chance of happening.

[Angels GM (Derrick)]

I agree 100% with Gregg....save this stuff for the leagues that you yourself run.

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Haha... this amuses me This is definitely not happening... even if it was a fair deal, it wouldn't happen.

You should be ashamed for even proposing such a deal.
It shows a lack of respect for the league and it's staff and members.

I'm in a football league where we use something called brownie points, which is basically just karma points except you can't add or subtract from each person's total. Each person starts with 2 points at the beginning of the year, and you can make bets with other teams with your brownie points, and the person who has the most at the end of the year wins a prize. They also do mini games like Streak for the Cash from ESPN for brownie points and stuff like that too, it's kind of a cool extra feature that increases activity. But in absolutely no way should you guys be betting players.

Bets are the worst, absolute worst.

Pirates has such a slim chance of winning. It would be as if he was giving the player to the Athletics. A very pathetic way to try and get a player, Noah.

I figured from the start this wouldn't work, I was approached about this and was laughing when I first saw it, I posted it figuring it would not work. It was more of a joke than reality. I am sorry for the nuisance.
